2007 Honda FR-V 2.0L Petrol · YN07 KWZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding aging components. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 144,843 miles resulted in a pass after a failure, the volume of advisories indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The recurring failure of basic items such as wiper blades, bulbs, and tyres across multiple years suggests that the owner typically addresses only the minimum work required to pass the annual inspection rather than performing preventative mechanical maintenance. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 144,843 represents an average annual usage of approximately 7,600 miles. This low annual mileage is typical for an older family vehicle, yet the data shows consistent use without long stationary periods. Between May 2023 at 131,763 miles and June 2025 at 144,843 miles, the car covered over 13,000 miles, which aligns with the gradual degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage, as the record consistently flags general under vehicle surface corrosion and specific issues with the rear anti-roll bar and coil springs. The front suspension arm bushes have been noted as worn on both sides in 2024 and 2025, indicating the suspension geometry is nearing the end of its service life. Furthermore, the history of pitted brake discs and thin pads in 2023 implies that the braking system may require significant attention soon. The state of the tyres warrants close scrutiny, as the tester has repeatedly flagged them worn to the legal limit or below it, alongside reports of sidewall cracking and cracking in 2025. This suggests a pattern of replacing tyres only when they reach failure status. Any physical inspection should also check for deep-seated structural rust and the integrity of the door catch, which was specifically noted as deteriorated in the most recent report.
